It’s a deep source of renewal, revival, and persistence through hard times.
New research shows how human cells can be effectively ‘recharged’ by replacing their internal batteries – microscopic power stations called mitochondria – and the discovery could have wide-ranging benefits across healthcare and medical treatments.The stacks of mitochondria in most of our cells naturally decline in numbers, slow down, and wear out with age. Once they start operating below peak capacity, they can contribute to multiple diseases everywhere from the heart to the brain.In this latest study, researchers from Texas A&M University used special flower-shaped particles called nanoflowers to scavenge damaging oxygen molecules, triggering genes that increase the number of mitochondria…

Credit: SIphotography/Getty Images New results from a large study based on a ‘natural experiment’ in Wales confirm that vaccination against shingles can lower incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia and can also help slow progression of the disease. The experiment involved 304,940 individuals born between 1925 and 1942. Those turning 80 immediately before September 2, 1933 were ineligible for shingles (herpes zoster) vaccination, whereas individuals who were 80 by this date could have the vaccination creating a sort of natural randomization process a bit like that seen in a clinical trial. Earlier this year, lead investigator on the current study…

I have a (perhaps unoriginal) goal of running all the World Major Marathons, and I once promised myself I wouldn’t repeat a race until I’d crossed a new one off the list. But, as a sneaker-obsessed New Yorker, I couldn’t resist the chance to run the New York City Marathon in the official shoe of the race: the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5.

Prediabetes affects about 96 million Americans, but only 20% know they have the condition. A Redditor shared how they reversed prediabetes, including eating more veggies and fruit.Getting enough sleep and losing weight can also help reverse a prediabetes diagnosis. Prediabetes is a common condition where your blood sugar runs high, but not quite high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. What’s more, only 20% of the nearly 96 million American adults who have prediabetes actually know that they have it. That’s because prediabetes is “silent” since there aren’t any signs or symptoms. Despite those staggering statistics, there is a…
